Unique Massage hoop is made from PE pipes material with special wave designs that gives intense massaging effect.
Massaging effect:
Wavy Foam hoops landing on your torso as you hoop is gentler. The wavy design provides gentle massaging effect during hula hooping.
Unique Massage has special wavy designs at the inner hoop that touches your body. This enhances massaging effect on your torso as you hoop. For a good massage on your lower back, try magnetic hoops.
13. Will my hoop came off during hula hooping?
Some hoops come in 8 parts. All parts of the hoops should latch properly before you start hooping. When attaching 2 parts together, make sure you hear a "click" before you start hooping. Fail to do so, your hoop will be unlatched and it may hit on things along the way. Be careful.
